Planning Battles in Ealing

Notable planning controversies and disputes that have shaped development in the Ealing area.

Waitrose/John Lewis West Ealing Redevelopment

2024-2025

John Lewis Partnership proposed 428 rental homes (83 affordable), a new Waitrose store, and four towers up to 19 storeys. Despite 96% opposition in consultation and pre-election promises by councillors to restrict tall buildings, a planning inspector upheld the appeal in May 2025, overriding local concerns about overdevelopment and excessive height.

Why this matters: This shows how developer appeals can overturn local opposition even when there's overwhelming public resistance - monitoring appeal processes is critical

Henry Construction Collapse - Demolition of Affordable Homes

2024-2025

The collapse of developer Henry Construction left 53 almost-finished affordable homes in West Ealing requiring demolition. The council purchased the derelict Greenford Road site for £33.2m in January 2024 but construction never resumed. Related legal actions continue against the Henry family for alleged misconduct.

Why this matters: Developer financial health matters - monitoring company records could have warned of risks before hundreds of affordable homes were lost

Ealing Local Plan Examination

2025

The borough's Local Plan (2024-2039) underwent government examination revealing systemic delivery issues. Only 134 home completions in 2024 with none major in 2025. Inspectors identified 23 issues requiring revision including vague tall building policies and inadequate infrastructure planning.

Why this matters: The plan targets 41,535 homes by 2039 but delivery is far behind - residents should monitor infrastructure capacity assessments
